Hi,
I am trying to connect to gentoo from a local pc but http fails , ftp times out and ping does not get anywhere.
I stopped iptables daemon and now see this
| Code: | bash-3.2#iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
bash-3.2#iptables -h
iptables v1.4.0
|
iptables -h sites -X option but this fails as well:
| Code: |
bash-3.2#iptables -X INPUT
iptables: Invalid argument |
I'll deal later with trying to set the firewall rules to do what I want . Just now I need to get the damn thing out of the way so I can get a specific job done.
Thanks for any help.
TIA, Gentree.

When iptables is stopped, it should not be blocking any traffic.
Double check: machine IP, default route (gateway), dns server, interrupt count for network device in /proc/interrupts (if 0, or not increasing with network activity, this indicates a non-functional driver or PCI IRQ config problem), network cabling and devices (switch/router) |

quite correct, I was only seeing what I expected to see without checking. The ping to the gentoo box was picking up a WAN IP not the LAN address.
but I cant see where the heck it is getting it.
/etc/hosts contains the correct LAN setting.
